Of all the folks in the mountain shacks, the Casteels were the lowest -- the scum of the hills.
Heaven
Leigh Casteel was the prettiest, smartest girl in the backwoods, despite
her ragged clothes and dirty face...despite a father meaner than ten
vipers...despite her weary stepmother, who worked her like a mule. For
her brother Tom and the little ones, Heaven clung to her pride and her
hopes. Someday they'd get away and show the world that they were decent,
fine and talented -- worthy of love and respect.
Then
Heaven's stepmother ran off, and her wicked, greedy father had a scheme
-- a vicious scheme that threatened to destroy the precious dream of
Heaven and the children forever! |
| At
last, Heaven would find the happiness she longed for...free from the
scorn and contempt of her past!
In her grandmother's fine, rich Boston house, Heaven Leigh Casteel dreamed of a wonderful new life of new friends, the best schools, beautiful clothes and most important, love. The pearls of culture, wisdom and breeding would now be hers. Soon she would make the Casteel name respectable, find her brothers and sisters, and have a family again. But even in the world of the wealthy, there were strange forebodings, secrets best forgotten. And as Heaven reached out for love, she was slowly ensnared in a sinister web of cruel deceits and hidden passions! |

Proud
and beautiful, Heaven came back to the hills -- to rise at last above
her family's shame!
As Logan's bride, she would savor now the love she had sought for so long. And free from her father's clutches, she would live again in her backwoods town, a respected teacher and cherished wife. But after a wedding trip to Boston's Farthinggale Manor and a lavish, elegant party, Heaven and Logan are persuaded to stay...lured by Tony Tatterton's guile to live amidst the Tatterton wealth and privilege. Then the ghosts of Heaven's past rise up once more, writhing around her fragile happiness...threatening her precious love with scandal and jealousy, sinister passions and dangerous dreams! |

Stunned
by tragedy, desperate and alone, Heaven's daughter clung to the frailest
of dreams!
The car crash that killed Heaven
and Logan left Annie Casteel Stonewall orphaned and crippled. Whisked
off to Farthinggale Manor by the possessive Tony Tatterton, Annie pines
for her lost family, but especially for Luke, her half-brother. Friend
of her childhood, her fantasy prince, her loving confidante...without
the warm glow of Luke's love, she is lost in the shadows of despair.
When Annie discovers Troy's cottage hidden in Farthinggale's woods, the
mystery of her past deepens. And even as she yearns to see Luke again,
her hopes and dreams are darkened by the sinister Casteel
spell...treacherous, powerful and evil! |

With
nowhere to go, no one to help her, Leigh fled into the arms of Luke
Casteel! Leigh Van Voreen had to escape from Boston's Farthinggale
Manor. The foul secret she harbored within her seemed to darken her life
forever. Jillian, her mother, would not believe her...and Tony Tatterton,
her stepfather, had betrayed her most cruelly.
But the pure devotion of Luke Casteel promised her hope and respect. Only Luke knew her deepest of secrets...only Luke would love and protect her. Bravely she bore the suspicions of the Willies' hillfolk, as she tried to grasp the happiness that had so long eluded her. Leigh prayed with all her heart that her bright, shining dreams would save her from tragedy at last... |
